At dawn on Thursday, July 18, the execution of Edris Jamshidzahi, who had previously been sentenced to death for the charge of “killing a Basij militia agent,” was carried out in Zahedan Prison, as reported by Haal Vsh.

According to this report, Mr. Jamshidzahi was arrested in 2017 on the charge of killing a Basij agent named Seyed Abdolkarim Sajjadi in Iranshahr, Sistan and Baluchestan province, and was later sentenced to death by the Zahedan Criminal Court.

The report states that Edris Jamshidzahi approximately 45 years old, father of five children, and a resident of Tigh Ap village in the Iranshahr area, had his final meeting with his family yesterday.

No official sources or domestic media outlets within the country have provided coverage of these executions at the time of writing. In 2023, 66% of HRANA’s reports on executions lacked official announcements by judicial authorities and went unreported by media inside Iran, highlighting a troubling lack of transparency in due process.

In 2023, the Department of Statistics and Publication of Human Rights Activists in Iran registered the execution of 767 individuals. Out of these, 7 were carried out in public. Among the executed individuals whose genders were identified, 21 were female. Additionally, 2 juvenile offenders, defined as individuals under the age of 18 at the time of their alleged crimes, were also executed.
